The Stupidity of Advertising

“Honestly, I cannot remember a worse commercial in the last couple of years than the Dr. Scholls commercial they have put into heavy rotation. First of all, some products just dont really need commercial advertisement like that; I think I could have a dollar for everyone who would see that commercial and then think well damn, I gotta get me some of those and I might be able to get a decent meal from a vending machine.”

That’s what Hosemonster thinks about the new Dr. Scholls commercial and he is right. So many ads are just plain stupid in their attempt to portray certain aspects of life as actually exciting and cool. Face it, foot pads are not exciting. No one cares.

Sorry I can’t link directly to his post. Link is broken.
